Amidst growing scrutiny over his alleged connections to Jeffrey Epstein, President Donald Trump has repeatedly deflected questions, pointing fingers at former President Bill Clinton. Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's accomplice, recently met with the Deputy Attorney General, sparking speculation about potential pardons. Trump denies any wrongdoing, claiming he never visited Epstein's infamous island and refutes reports of writing a birthday greeting. His lawyer, Todd Blanche, has questioned Maxwell, reportedly asking about "100 different people". Meanwhile, Democrats are requesting access to Epstein's birthday book, which allegedly contains messages from both Trump and Clinton. Trump's attempts to shift the focus to Clinton have been met with criticism, as the Epstein scandal continues to dominate headlines.
